Age Comment: Kayani dumps old boss? "Apart from underlining the political isolation of Pakistan’s former military ruler Pervez Musharraf, his indictment on Tuesday by a Rawalpindi court for the assassination of popular two-time former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto makes history. In Pakistan, no serving or retired general has been pulled in on criminal charges before. Of course, the former President is already facing judicial proceedings over the detention of judges in 2007 and the killing of Nawab Akbar Bugti, a Baloch leader. He has been under house arrest at his Islamabad mansion since April this year. But in the Benazir Bhutto murder trial, he has directly been charged with serious offences. It underscores the view that the country’s current military leadership may not be too keen on bailing out their former chief." --> bit.ly/1bVwRuS
